Sea Kings of Mars and Otherwordly Stories

Ancient Mars: a world covered with water, with great cities and bustling quays built on the shores of timeless seas, where a rugged hero armed with a broadsword and limitless courage could seek hidden treasures and defy the gods themselves.

Modern Mars: a dried-up, dying world, where desperate Earthmen compete with the last Martians and other alien races for lost knowledge and hidden power. And sometimes, in very special circumstances, these two worlds collide...

Here, together for the first time, are the very best of Leigh Brackett's evocative stories of Mars and Venus.
